Madhappy & Guest in Residence Collaborate on a Limited-Edition Capsule

— May 21, 2025 — Pop Culture
Madhappy & Guest In Residence have joined forces for a limited-edition collaboration blending cozy craftsmanship with California cool. This marks the first partnership between the Los Angeles-based Madhappy and Gigi Hadid’s luxury knitwear label, Guest In Residence, debuting an 18-piece collection of lightweight cotton knits designed for summer ease.

The collection reimagines Guest In Residence’s signature silhouettes with Madhappy’s optimistic flair -- playful trim stitching, vintage washes, and mix-and-match colorways appear across styles like waffle knit hoodies and joggers, rib knit polo and short sets, and cargo-accented zip-ups. It’s an elevated take on laid-back loungewear, ideal for both travel and off-duty days. The campaign, fronted by Hadid and shot by Stevie Dance, captures the effortless spirit behind the collaboration.

The collection is available now on Madhappy.com.
